Ping to #842. Interested in your opinions and position, given what all you've had to say over the past couplwe of days.

It would seem that there is war afoot within the GOP.

I've thankfully mostly stayed out of the Schiavo case, but just a couple of observations:

1) It seems both sides of the family have entrenched themselves in their positions. I don't buy that the husband is some sort of murderous monster, but I wonder why he is so deadset on having her feeding tube removed. At this point, it just seems like both sides are too emotionally invested in this whole thing to act rationally.

2) The anti-tube removal side has taken a lot of actions that are normally used by liberal groups during a conflict. Appealing to Congress and the Federal courts to intervene in what is clearly a State law matter makes me uncomfortable.

Just my $0.02. I'll probably get flamed by both sides for this :-)
